Addy Sea

The Place to Unwind

In the heart of Bethany Beach, the Addy Sea stands as a time-honored treasure and one of the area's original homes. Now reimagined as an age 21 and over tranquil coastal retreat, this Historic Oceanfront Inn blends modern comforts with timeless charm. The Guest House boasts coastal-inspired rooms, while the historic main house is rich with echoes of the past, all just a few sandy steps from the Atlantic Ocean.

Wedding Weekend

“Everything about our 3-day stay was perfect! We were attending my husband's niece's wedding. The breakfasts were tasty, and we could eat a leisurely breakfast each morning. The wedding and reception were at the Inn and were lovely.”

The Great Beach Getaway

“I’m only giving this place five circles because I can't give it six. The inn has a tremendous atmosphere, from the staff, the breakfast, and the location. Walk out the back porch and across a dune, and you're on the beach!”
